generalist settlement support

settlement support and advocacy for new migrants.

We give newly arrived migrants free support to help with their settlement in Australia.

We also advocate to other settlement services on behalf of individuals and communities to try and build better futures for our newest arrivals.

Who we can help

You can use our settlement support services if youā€™ve been in Australia for five years or less, have low levels of English proficiency, are a permanent resident and came to Australia on a Humanitarian/Refugee visa or as a Family Stream migrant.

How we can help

Here are some of the support services we offer:
